Chapter 29: Sorry

" How can you expect me trust myself if none of you do? You locked away my powers! And now you want me to learn, and harness it to save the world?" I was really frustrated that I could have been stronger the whole time, saved people I loved and cared about from the dark Siders.

" We trust you to harness it that is why we had to wait for you to be ready. The scythe is like a reservoir to your abilities. Now is your time to prove to the others that you are worthy of that power." Mother Victoria slapped me across the face as she said that, snapping me back into reality before hugging me. I have missed the warmth and her smell. It was nostalgic and loving, I held back my tears as I embraces her back.

" I missed you, mom." I cried out instinctively as a single teardrop rolled down my cheek.

" I'm sorry, I now know how much you have suffered. I wished I had gotten to know you better before." Her tears dripping onto my head as she hugged me tighter.

" I'll give you another 5 minutes. After that, promise you will do your best to prove to all the other guardians, that you are worthy of standing amongst the gods. A respected warrior, who will use his powers against evil." She kissed me on the forehead, making me realised that I have been selfishly endangering our lives by half heartedly practicing with no goal in mind.

I enjoyed the delicate warmth of her body wrapped tightly around me, filling the gaps that I have forgotten for a long time.
